re: Sickest You've Ever Been?

Full-blown migraine in high school when I was 16. I hadn't had one before, so when I started seeing spots I didn't think it was a big deal. Got to my last class, teacher was calling us up to her desk to get papers...I couldn't stand up. Couldn't feel my arms or legs.
They had to drag me out of class to the office, mom picked me up, I spent the rest of the day in complete misery curled up in bed, only getting up to puke. It was over by the next morning, but just those few hours of nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, and a headache so bad that it felt like something was trying to drill out of my head from the inside out....

Luckily I've only had a mild migraine since - huge headache and light/sound sensitivity, but no auras, numbness or nausea. It was during the Chick-fil-A bowl last year though, and I couldn't leave. I wanted to put my head through the wall.

Last week I had the flu. It was awful. Not sure if it's the sickest I've ever been, but it's up there

Food poisoning.

also when I had a GI bug a week after lower hernia surgery.

When I was pregnant with my twins, I had "morning" sickness from 7 weeks-25 weeks. Doctor finally prescribed Zofran. Relief.

A year ago both kids (Age 2) came down with stomach flu...then I got it. For 3 days all 3 of us were sick. Awful. My mom is a nurse and wouldn't come over because she was afraid to catch it. Ugh.

Food poisoning a few times that sucked. Hung over after a few too many shots of Jager and tequila. God awful the next morning...and the next.

Guillain-Barré syndrome, in the ICU for two months, on a ventilator for over a month, paralyzed from head to toes, lost roughly 50lbs, total stay in the hospital 5 months. Had to relearn every activity of daily living. Still in rehab trying to learn how to walk again.

Needless to say, this has been one rough ride.

Wow. Pray you continue to recover and it be quickly.

Withdrawals from weed. I had to shoot up pure THC spice just to feel right

A few years ago I got sick, thought it was just chest congestion. Went to the Dr. twice, got meds, but didn't help.
Finally after being sick for 6 days or so, not eating, not able to hold my head up, I went to the emergency room.
Found out I had a double lung infection, was dehydrated, and spent 6 days in the hospital.
The first 6 days of being sick and the next 2 days in the hospital were by far the worst days of my life as far as being sick.
The 1st 2 nights in the hospital were the worst as well.

I got tagged in the hospital following a failed CIA assassination attempt (cant get into details about it, and it could have been another intel agency and/or cutout, not ruling that out, nobody knows who's working for who anymore

For whom. Nobody knows who's working for WHOM anymore.

But seriously, surely this is BS huh?

If not........


:pockern:

Just had to take a Rocephin shot, been using the hell out of inhaler for last two days. Wheezing so loud, people at Walgreens were staring at me.

I once couldn't hold down foods or liquids for seventeen days, by my count. I camped out by the toilet for two weeks, sipping water from a gallon jug throughout the day. I knew it would be coming back up, but I had to keep some fluids in to keep from dying.

Just as suddenly as it came, it went away. I never went to the doc, so I still don't know what it was.
